there are many parks in suzhou, most of them are very commercial and are mainly tourist attractions. there is this one that i found out from one of the cycling forums in suzhou. free entrance, no stalls selling toys, food and it is very natural. it looked very nice and with bamboo, nicely planted trees, narrow paths, little huts, small streams, children playground and many more. it is a perfect weekend escape with family. this man-make park is located between tong li town (同理镇) and zhou zhuang town (周庄镇). click here for the location.
21st feb was sunny after about 8 gloomy and raining days. we took our bikes and headed toward this park. though the temperature was low at 10 degrees but we were in high spirit.

this is a nice park for a family gathering. i will go back to this park again when the temperature and the weather is more clear. probably end march or early april. it could be a picnic with food and drink instead of just riding. let get out and enjoy the sun if we can...

I visited 同理镇 and 周庄镇 before, don't know there is such a nice place. I can imagine during the spring and autumn season the scenery there will be really 诗情画意.
if you ever come again within the next few months, i could bring you along. i plan to head to that place in riding next time.
I lived in Suzhou for nearly 5 years and I have never seen the park you are describing. The pictures of you and your family are great! It looks like you guys had a fantastic time.

many a times, such parks are not promoted because it is not a tourist attraction. we did have a very good time.
Nice park !! : D -wee
wee, you are right! I find it very nice too. Otherwise, i would not have been there.
